Description: | A glass bead, probably Post-Medieval or early Modern in date.The bead is oblate, with flattened surfaces, in the centre of which is a cast circular perforation.The surface of the bead is decorated with irregular circles of red arranged in a lozenge pattern in four panels. The panels are made distinct by intersecting cords forming pointed oval panels. The cords are mostly hollow now, but bear traces of a secondary, translucent white glass.The glass that forms the body of the bead is solid (not translucent) and off-white in colour. Its appearance is similar to ceramic, but where the bead is chipped, it is clear that the bead is made of glass.
